Dear fans of African Violets, Gloxinia, Streptocarpus and other Gesneriads!

Under the support of "Netzwerk Pflanzensammlungen" we founded a "German Society for African Violets and other gesneriads".The network of plant collections has expressed interest in the organization of this society and is ready to provide the necessary support. The Netzwerk Pflanzensammlungen is a project of the German Horticultural Society with the support of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection and the Federal Office of Plant Varieties.

The purpose of the foundation of the company is the popularization, communication, organization of African violet positions and participation in the activities of the network.Our other plans include a separate website of the company.

We invite everyone to take part in order to obtain the public status of society in a short time.

All those interested can simply sign up if they register for another journeyman.After you have activated the profile (it may take up to two days), contact us (Basti Genz, Inna Pavlusenko and Dimitrij Trofimov) and add us to the contact.

And, do you already have activities in mind which the society can carry out?

Paul

Hello Paul, in the first place it should appeal to people from Germany and Europe. We would like to organize and carry out exhibitions with the company very much. Currently we are in talks with the Bundessortenamt in Germany and the Netzwerk Pflanzensammlungen and are setting up and planning the future.

I've tried to register but it's hard when you don't speak German.When I had to choose for Name der Pflanzenliebhaber-Gesellschaft - there was nothing that sounded like German Society for African Violets and other gesneriads.By the time I finished filling in and clicking on register, it said: Session abgelaufen. Bitte später noch mal versuchen. I tried again - same ending.

With Google Chrome as a browser, you can translate the page into its native language. The union there is also not listed in the list, so do not fill in the field.

Dear members here we have already reached a big step and we have a specialist group for Gesneriaceae in Germany with the GdS (Society of Perennial Friends). Anyone who wants to participate, however, must register with the GdS and become a member, we plan from next year an exhibition and then in the future regular events around African violets and other Gesneriaceae

Hi Basti, is there any update on the activities or the specialist group for gesneriad in the GdS (Gesellschaft der Staudenfreunde, www.gds-staudenfreunde.de)? I wanted to read more about on their website but seems I cannot find anything.
